#GlovesThrown and since you follow this thread apparently have some?
You're taking the spirit of this and turning a profit on the community /endrant.

Ya that's a bit high but I bet brick and mortar headshops probably are charging more. Also not really seeing an indication that he is following this thread, he could have easily found out about dhgate through reddit or other means (the Kathy Egg has sold over 800 and isn't some secret of this forum or thread). If people don't know how to google search an image and get overcharged that's kind of on them.

I agree with @weenstoned. People hate on other people for buying dhgate/china pieces and then reselling them for a lot more, but that's exactly what headshops and such do. That's how everybody aside from the original manufacturers makes money. Buying from a reseller also gives you the benefit of seeing the exact piece you are getting, instead of waiting a month for shipping and risking it being broken.

I have gotten fast shipping from both steven and kathy. My steven FC-710 came in 7 days. It works good, but the little bead in the bottom for the function, gets stuck really easily.

Kathy's took about 10 days to come and i ordered the fab egg and klein incycler. The egg came broke, (neck snapped). i could tell how thin the glass was. really too bad. Im going to ask her about making it thicker and changing design a bit. I fixed it with hot glue and i really really like how the egg hits. Could only imagine how awesome a real mothership is.

The klein incycler's can is a bit too stretched out, and needs a lot of water. But with the water at the max capacity, you can get the incycler to function and not get water in your mouth. You can really only see the recycler working when you do longer hits.


All in all i am happy. I like the look of the new egg by that company. but i prefer the design of kathy's as its more like the original. if she beefed it up more. and offered diffferent fittings. they could sell a lot more of them.



i see the torus is looking a lot better from steven. How is the klein coming along?

These sales couldn't have come at a worse time (for me), I've got a new card on the way and all this 1/2 off chi-glass would've been the perfect way to break it in.

It sounds like the timing is actually perfect for you. When does this sale end? I have not seen anything yet that would really draw me in.

dome upside down on male to male adapter.....sure

 

[JimmyCricket]

Trying to get into that glass game to use with my Lotus. Was wondering if you guys could help me decide between three pieces:

http://www.bakebros.com/14mm-mini-bubbler-round-base-trumpet-mouth-7-5-clear/

http://www.bakebros.com/14mm-con-wp-bell-housing-funnel-recycler-6-0-with-drips-amber/

http://www.bakebros.com/14mm-con-wp-grid-perc-sidecar-long-mouth-green/

Are either of these okay/good for the price? Anything else I should consider? Is the perc better than the others?

PS: if this is not the right place for this type of post, my bad!

I'm looking for a 18 male to 18 female drop down to fit my GB-187-1. Does anyone have the one SSS has? I don't know what to call that top joint where the perc is married to the top of the can, but the one I have is sunk down a little and I'm afraid the drop down won't work with it. Do you guys think I would have a problem?

If ur 187 is anything like the fc187 then it doesn't work, maybe a male to male adapter w a f to f drop wud work

I've been looking at the FC-187 V2 (link above) from Steven as my next purchase. But I just ran across a water test vid with it and was a bit underwhelmed. It didn't seem to have a lot of diffusion.


Is there any particular piece that is known for its diffusion? I don't mind a harder pull but would prefer a less chuggy draw. Maybe a D020-w2?

[Frederick McGuire]

I just did a side-by-side water test of my mobius ion and fc-187(v1), and they both hit pretty damn similarly...

Matrix percs are one of the higher diffusion percs around...

I personally find a matrix will smooth out my hit better than a honeycomb.

For a higher level of diffusion maybe check out the stereo matrix by Steven or Yingmin?
Otherwise the only thing I can think of would be a fritter piece or a multi chamber piece.

I have a D020-2-w, IMO FC187 provides more diffusion (and that D020-2-w is quite small, maybe 1/2 the volume of the 187...)

 

[xRUFUSx]

Anyone care to critique this recycler? Is the return/bottom intake too close to the percs?

I've received dropdowns and adapters from this seller, all good and timely shipping... browsing his stuff to piggyback shipping

Meh, I'd pass unless the design speaks to you.

You need a fair bit of water in it to recycle, more than id like with that kind f ratchet perc...

I think there's a version floating about out there that has a honeycomb instead of ratchet perc, which may function a bit better.

I know at least a few others bought one a few months back (maybe they can chime in too?), but tbh I think I've used mine for like 2 sessions since I got it...

Thanks for the opinion, I believe I will go with a matrix diffuser. When I searched for the stereo, 2 very compelling designs came up. @PuffNStuff posted one of them already, the FC-186.

The other one just looks..... purdy.

I had the FC-187-V1. And learned about the importance of a well built matrix perc in order for it function properly. Simply put, I swear my original V1 perc was made by a drunk person - the cuts were not straight (crooked as fuck), and varied in width. All of which negatively affected it's performance

The FC-187v2 supposedly has a better matrix perc, but I don't know how much better.

I opted to purchase the GB-187-S from Yingmin5 instead. I LOVE IT! The glass is slightly thinner than the FC-187, but it's a much better piece in my experience - the matrix perc fires perfectly around the entire piece!

http://www.dhgate.com/product/hot-s...lass-smoking/229344799.html#s1-0-1|2993025544

This piece is currently sitting in front of me, and I've been enjoying it all morning. This is definitely one of my favorite glass pieces currently

 

[NinjaMindTriks]

My fc-187 v2 has a great matrix perc. Its cuts are even and it fires perfectly. I have seen some photos from version 1 and there is no comparison. The piece has some of the thickest glass I've had on a China piece too.

I've had both 187's the only thing that I don't like about Yingmin's is the attachment of the MP is a bit low on the can.

 

[Delta3DStudios]

I hear ya, maybe if you're doing dabs it'd be an issue. But I use mine exclusively with vapes. 99% of the time with my E-Nano. So I'm not pulling hard enough for it to be an issue (haven't had one drink yet!)

The biggest difference I see between them is that Steven's MP tube seems to start lower in the can. No problem there with water in the MP?

The perc in my FC-187v1 makes me a little nuts and I can't really use it. Well, I don't use it, as I have glass that works better. But I still lust for a working piece like it. (Why can't I just wait for the Pillar?)

Edit: I need to get back in the habit of reading threads to the end before posting in them...

I know it's a lil embarrassing but I'm digging my cheap China collection. I have the FC 187 v2, d020d, I also have the FC 710 coming in and this small recycler/vortex that seems to be popular also on delivery. So far, everything has been going good. A few minor issues (chipped perc and other small things) but nothing that affects performance for me (I'm a glass noob, to others it might not be good enough).

I just read what ppl like and try to buy what's popular. Dhgate has given me a chance to try different types of glass that I would never be able to afford.

Aww shit, there's a knockoff bates Grenade tube!

http://www.dhgate.com/product/two-function-2015-newest-clear-lip-wrapped/231041620.html

It's 50% off for the next 19 hours, down to $56.82

As far as I'm aware, it should function a lot like an egg

Would you guys recommend purchasing this piece? Thanks Frederick McGuire for the post.

 

[stickstones]

I know it's a lil embarrassing but I'm digging my cheap China collection.

Not at all! I've only had one nice piece, the Matrix Ion. But after breaking a $300 piece of glass I decided it was time to go China only, thanks to this thread. I now recommend this thread to everyone I know looking into glass. Once you go China, nothing's cheaper and finer!

Seriously man why did you have to post this. I don't need any more glass right now. But this price is too good not to give this bad boy a try. And that sale countdown timer just screams buy me now!

If you didn't post it I'm sure @Dangus would have lol. I should ignore the both of you if I ever want to save any money lol

Edit: I purchased. Hopefully I get a good one. I need to learn to post videos and hope you guys can help me to make sure it's functioning properly.

I've broken a 420 dollar mobius 60t and a LE early bird hydratube. I just got my side car fc 187v2 (I think that's the model) and it is so smooth. The glass is solid and it stacks like crazy. The $300 version of this certainly is not worth 6 of the ion.

I will go GAS crazy with China once more 18mm start becoming the normal and pair with my various Vape. If they ever start doing hydratube I am in trouble.
